Felten Follower Examines Crippled Music Disks

D4C5CE writes "Following in the footsteps of his famous professor, in his paper "Evaluating New Copy-Prevention Techniques for Audio CDs" (yes, that's pure PS), which is one of many interesting contributions to the 2002 ACM Workshop on Digital Rights Management, Princeton student Alex Halderman takes apart (bit by bit, literally) the "tricks on tracks" employed by the music industry to frustrate fair use."

    Then why do you care about down moderation?

    Oh, I forgot. If you get moderated down for a couple of times you're banned for a while even if your karma is close to the cap.

    You see now why moderation here is unfair?

      Cool! I bet even Linus isn't up to the 4.2 series kernel. My Red Hat is 2.4...{sob} :-(

    A linux system with kernel release 4.2.18-3 ?
    I want that too.. It's nice to see the 4.x kernels still including pentium-III support.

    Err, no. I care about down moderation because then no-one will see my post. What's the point of me posting (supposedly) helpful information if it's just going to get downvoted off the radar for most users?

    Since when did Red Hat release with a 4.2.18-3 kernel? I can't seem to find it in the official tree, so I might just have to reconsider my loyalties to SuSE.
